IMHO, entry is the defining factor to long term success. From the entry price one should know an exact exit price for the potential loss (loss limit). Defining the exit price for a winner is not knowable (as far as I have been able to determine). The exit price for a winner should be discerned by a failure at some consolidation zone during the runup. Thus the exit price of a winner does not have a predetermined value, again IMHO.

Cut your losses and let your winners run. Ah. so simple…so true....but you know I‘ve never understood the reasoning behind it. IMO it's basically the same as cold-calling or telemarketing. You have to get through those bunch of "no's" to get that "yes". Since time is money, and there's one born every minute, you can't afford to waste it with anything that negatively effects your bottom line. It's the same with stocks, if it's a no, cut it short and move on to the next one. Dominick

It works because the vast majority of stockholders will sell as the stock rises, providing supply which prevents the mm's from being forced short. Works in reverse in heavily shorted stocks falling.
